You can write a loop from the end to the begining of the number, with a counter variable, and each three printed values you print a space and reset the counter. — elcortegano, May 09 '17 at 08:55

If your locale is configured that way and you don't mind limiting your code to POSIX, try the printf ' flag.

setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
printf("%'d\n", 50000);
